This document presents a framework for mapping global patterns of drought risk at the sub-national level. Drought risk is assessed as the product of drought hazard, exposure, and vulnerability over the period of 2000-2014. Drought hazard is derived from historical precipitation deficits, exposure is based on population/livestock densities and crop cover indicators, and vulnerability incorporates social, economic, and infrastructure factors. The results show drought risk is highest in populated agricultural regions like South/Central Asia, Southeast South America, and Central Europe. As climate change may increase droughts in these areas, there are concerns about effects on global food security and potential for conflict. Adaptation strategies could include expanding irrigation and diversifying regional economies.
